Live Blog Tonight- Bears V. Rams

It’s times like these (when one of your posts gets added to the Consumerist, Netscape, USAToday.com, and gets a 488 on Digg) that you gather your focus (switch to Blogger Beta) and do the most wonderfullest, splendiforous, and rockin’ live-blog ever!!!!!!! (To make up for the others I missed)…

So tonight folks…..it’s the Bears…..it’s the Rams…..it’s the AA LIVE-BLOG!!!! Be there around 8ish and bring your A-Game (I was going to say AA game, but that’d be way too cheesy).

(Oh and that Picture you ask? Well that’s our friend Rex Grossman huffing er……making balloon animals with his friends at Florida.)

8:01- “He’s a playmaker who makes plays”- Michael Irvin, and we’re ready to go! Welcome all….new and old. Cheers……get your drink and let’s get into this.

ONCE AGAIN IT’S TIME TO CLIMB TO THE TOP OF SPACE MOUNTAIN! SPACE MOUNTAIN ON THREE! 1, 2, 3……SPACE MOUNTAIN, Bears team.

Umm what? Can someone enlighten me on what that means?

The ESPN crew plays role play as the Bears Fans (Mike Ditka), Mushin Muhammed (Irvin), Brian Urlacher (TJ), Rex Grossman (Steve Young)………and then Ditka was Lovie Smith? Ditka you were already the Bears Fans who can you……oh whatever. Help me please. I don’t know what I just got myself into.

Why does Mike Irvin grab people all the time? Is it because he’s on ecstasy???

There was some sort of mascot out there for the toss…..not sure what it was, but it had a derby hat on. Can’t go wrong with that.

From the Comments: Is it just me, or did it look like Rachel Nichols had a false background behind her during the pregame (besides the fact that people were, you know, moving around)? Rough start for the sideline lighting crew tonight. – Brian from One More Dying Quail

It’s so true……she never blinks. One time in a 3 minute piece.

“You shouldn’t think”- JT“That was your move right…..not to think at all. You were built for that”- TK

Nice….keep it up boys.

8:45- First down Bears and then Thomas Jones gets a flag after a money catch.

MNF crew already jinxing Rex by saying he can’t throw a pick here…..

And Grossman got cruuuuushed by Okanonsda Msudfasdfadsf…..er #21.

8:52- Torry Holt does his interview for a TV job after retirement while intro’ing the Rams O. McDonald drops an easy third down conversion after the Rams got awesome field position. Good job Rams…way to make it exciting. Final score 10-6 Bears.

Joe Theismann goes throught the EXACT same playbook on Rex Grossman that Jawz did about 30 minutes ago.

There you go! If you can’t throw….run it for twenty yards on third down Rexy.

Nice Throw! Rex hits a fadeaway screen and gets the personal foul. Now were playing Rex….I have faith in you if no one else does. Only because of the picture above though.

God Dammit……okay so I’ll tell you. I know I promised that I would never talk about my fantasy team on this site, but that just pushed me over the edge. I’m down 3.58 points with one player left. That player? Robbie Gould who just missed a 37 yarder….he has missed one, er two all year. That’s it I’m done talking about it. Oh and my league is already in the playoffs. I’m going to lose.

9:05- Devin Hester is the new X-Factor.

Joe thinks that the penalty is “not letting the gunner back inbounds” on the punt return…..but the gunner was flagged for going out on his own. Good call Joe, and great made up rule! 0-1.

From the Comments: “Which is better: a) the fact that immediately following Grossman’s scramble, ESPN cut to a shot of Brian Griese looking distinctly unhappy on the Bears sideline, or b) the fact that less than five minutes later, Michele Tafoya mentioned that “every player on the Bears sideline is pulling for Rex Grossman.” Michele, let me introduce you to Brian. Brian, tell Michele what you think of Rex. Don’t hold back. Also, is it too Kornheiser-ish of me if I throw out a “Fuck you” to Robbie Gould for missing that kick? My fantasy team needs all the help it can get. “- Brian

I feel your pain Brian……come on…..we can do this. The Bears are driving again.

“I always thought “Black Christmas” would be the black version of National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. I’m disappointed they went the horror movie route.”- BJ from I Have Never Knowingly

Also….I forgot I had a pic for the 2nd Quarter…..enjoy.Enjoy the Herpes, and………ENJOY DEVIN HESTER!!!!!!!!!! 5th return for a score.7-6 Bears, and more importantly…..one point for Robbie GOULET! Just need that FG now.9:35- Stevie Jackson has one hell of a lazy eye.

Stephen Davis in as the 3rd back…..you can bet you life that this is a pass. And it is.

BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE.

“Hey. Who’s that blonde chick you just posted a picture of? She’s kinda cute. Kind of that wholesome girl next door type.”- Jay, from Cynical Bastard

Yep…..very wholresome.

Stevie Jack with the TD…….

13-7 Rams.

The Blur???? Really? That’s Hester’s name? OH SHIT!!!!!!!!!Belushi in the booth!!!!!!!!!! I’m staying in bold for this…….because he’s hammered!!!!!“My third child is going to be named Hester”- JB“We’re….tensh and twhosssh with Resxxxsh.”- JB

I’m not kidding…..Jim Belushi is straight lit.

“The Cubs spent some money this past week”- JB“Some Money?!?!?!?!”- T“As an iconic actor we sometimes let the audience lead us…..sometimes we have to lead the audience”- JBUmmm what?!?!?!?!?! Did you just call yourself an ICONIC actor!!!!!! Go straight to hell Belushi….your brother is rolling over in his grave.

TD…….Grossman to Berrian. Belushi loses his shit.“What happened to no cheering in the booth Belushi”- TK, hahahahaha that was good.They kick him out of the booth……that was gold Jerry.14-13….BearsOkay no more bold……

“An hour ago the entire Bears sideline was pulling for Rex Grossman to succeed… Now there are sources in the Bears locker room who wanted Griese to start… Sideline reporters are so informative, even if the information is completely contradictory.”- Brian

A truerererer statement has not been said……

14-13 Bears at half. Take a break everyone.

Wait….Suzy Kolber is there. Sorry missed that one.

2nd half……AND WE’RE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“First down for the Rams, and first downs always play huge in the Rams offense.”- MT

Really Mike???? Do you think!?!?!?!?!?!?!

10:35- Wow…..the Bears fans can travel. Moose on a first and the whole place goes up.

Mooooooooooooooooose! Again. Just throw to him everytime Rexy.

WOW! Don’t listen to me Lovie………Thomas Jones just destroys the Rams D, and racks up 54 yards on two plays.

21-13 Bears…..and on a more important note I’m one point away from advancing in the playoffs……I just fully jinxed BJ and I (the Bear). Sorry, couldn’t resist.

My favorite part about the ESPN broadcast is the music……in the last intro out of commercial they even comment on Nelly and Blues in the city, but on the outro to commercial they use RHCP “Give it Away” for the 15th time tonight. You know what happened….that was probably the only song they paid the rights for thinking Grossman would throw 7 picks this game. Come on ESPN.

So Freddie Adu got traded to Real Salt Lake City. I’m not going to pretend to know anything about soccer, but that seems like the smartest move in the history of sports. That kid is already playing in England….we just don’t know it.

10:48- Hester signals ridiculously late and scares the crap out of me. ALI RAP is B.S. No Mas…..I hated that doc and the commercials.

Wow….Berrian was all over Ty Hill on that play, and no call. I think I might have to thank BJ for whatever he did if this Gould thing works out for us. And no….not by a BJ you sick individual.

10:55- Mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good lord that was a sick catch….and on top of that…..throw.

“So Brian Griese is probably not getting in tonight as a starter.”- TKI know it’s late Tony, and I know what you meant, but seriously….the game’s already started. How would he get in as the starter?

28-13 Bears…..and with that point I win in the first round of Fantasy. BJ is hanging on by the skin of his teeth, so your prayers need to be with him now.

Tony makes some coal to diamond comparison of Rexy and my head started hurting. Something about sprinkling coal on the field????

11:00-Wait Marshall Faulk wants to come back????? Are you serious? Just give it up my man.

“It’s my personal opinion that Marshall Faulk will not be a Ram next year”- JTWay to go out on a ledge Joe.
